The World Bank has a comprehensive package on World Cup 2006 and its relation to economics, including an economic analysis of who’s gonna win and how the Cup influences economies in the winning/losing countries.

Update: Goldman Sachs has a 50+ page report on World Cup 2006 and economics [PDF link] as well. (thx, beau)
